Looking Ahead

Prices continue to rise at a steady rate as all types of buyers see value in Summit and Wasatch Counties. Finding affordable property in certain areas remains challenging and demand in new neighborhoods is higher than in previous years.

Millennials, the largest generation ever produced in our country, is a new class of buyers who are becoming more and more active in our market.

With the average home remaining on the market for 9 – 12 months, pricing at or below the median price can speed up that time significantly.

Our market area is complex and constantly changing and evolving with micro-markets dividing product by property type, location, price, age, and amenities. Buyers and sellers are advised to contact a local Park City REALTOR® for information on what is happening in your neighborhood.
